Faces of Singularity Theory

This conference is part of the Chaire Jean-Morlet Semester Singularity Theory from Modern Perspectives.  While the other events of the semester are focusing on the research project that the organisers plan to carry out, this conference intends to open the thematic spectrum within singularity theory, and explore possible interactions within different approaches.

The topics envisaged are:

  • connections with Minimal Model Program
  • resolution of Singularities
  • motivic Integration
  • Milnor fibration and related topics
  • Lipschitz geometry
  • non-archimedean, tropical and log-geometry of singularities
  • topology of singularities with connections to Floer theories connections of singularity theory with combinatorics
  • connections of singularity theory with Mirror symmetry ideas.

While the connections are wide, the main unifying factor are the singularity theory methods.

Representations of Quivers: Theory and Applications – a Celebration of the 60th Birthday of Bill Crawley-Boevey

The respresentation theory of quivers has developed through a strong interaction of general theory and the investigation of examples.  Bill Crawley-Boevey has had a major influence of the field, his work exemplifying this interaction as well as the entwining of finite- and infinte-dimensional represention theory.  Now quivers and their representations appear in many parts of mathematics, in physics, and in an increading variety of applications.

European Set Theory Conference

This is the largest and most important conference in the world on set theory and related areas, taking place every two years in a European country. The conference provides an international meeting place for junior and senior researchers around the world to interact, and is also the venue for awarding the Hausdorff Medal, the premier honor for work in set theory.

The 2022 program will consist of

  • 15 plenary talks
  • two three-hour tutorials
  • the Hausdorff Medal Lecture, delivered by the winner
  • a special session devoted to the work of Professor Boban Veličkovič
  • daily contributed-talk sessions

Frontiers in Geometry and Topology

Geometry and Topology have seen spectacular recent developments, including the solution of classical problems. As a consequence, the established picture of how various parts of these areas fit together is evolving rapidly. On the topological side, among the topics that have progressed are: four-manifolds obtained as knot traces; knot concordance and homology cobordism, Stein fillings. On the Floer homology side, we have powerful new computational methods and new invariants of embedded graphs and webs. On the more analytic side, we have new compactness results and potential new invariants.

Groups St Andrews 2022 in Newcastle

Groups St Andrews conferences have been held every fours years since 1981, most recently in 2017 in Birmingham.  The conference aims to present new developmetns from all parts of group theory and to provide an opportunity for early career researchers and doctoral students in group theory to discuss their research with international experts and to present their own work to a broad audience.  

Principal speakers at the 2022 event will be Michel Brior (Institut Fourier), Fanny Kassel (IHES), Denis Osin (Vanderbilt) and Pham Huu Tiep (Rutgers).  Plenary speakers include Miklos Abert (Renyi Institute), Yves de Cornulier (Lyon 1),  Bettina Eick (TU Braunschweig), Michael Giudici (UWA), and Jula Pevtsova (Washington).

New Trends in Moduli Spaces and Vector Bundles (VBAC 2022)

This conference will address both fundamental questions in moduli theory, the geometry of moduli spaces and interactions with other areas.  The main topics to be covered include the general theory of stability  conditions in derived categories and non-reductive geometry invariant theory (GIT), higher rank Brill-Noether theory, and Higgs bundles and character varieties.  These strongly inter-connected topics have all experienced intensive research activity in recent times and the time is right to bring the community together.

British Combinatorial Conference 2022

The British Combinatorial Conference (BCC), held biennially, is the foremost UK conference in the field of combinatorics and its applications. Each edition of the BCC includes 9 internationally renowned principal speakers, selected by the British Combinatorial Committee both for the excellence of their research and the clarity of their exposition. These speakers will give survey talks covering a diverse range of topics within the field of combinatorics.  The BCC will also include six invited mini-symposia covering the breadth of combinatorics.

Finite Dimensional Integrable Systems in Geometry and Mathematical Physics

Many natural and prominent problems in the theory of integrable systems were solved by mathematicians from ouside the field, i.e. those who do not consider integrable ystems as their main area of research.  Typically, these people work in Riemannian geometry, algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, the theory of PDEs, or mathematical physics.  The goal of this conference is to bring such people together to exchange ideas and share methods of study of different problems in integrable systems, applying these new ideas and methods in their specific research projects.
